Judge clears way for initiative to repeal capital gains tax
OLYMPIA — A Thurston County judge cleared the way Thursday for opponents of the state’s new capital gains tax to begin gathering signatures on an initiative to repeal the law.
Sponsors of Initiative 1929 got the green light after Thurston County Superior Court Judge Indu Thomas approved final wording for how the measure would be described on the ballot and the initiative petitions.
However, it wasn’t immediately clear when, or if, they would proceed with collecting signatures.
“We don’t comment on that,” said Mark Funk, a spokesman for Repeal the Capital Gains Income Tax, the political committee behind I-1929.
